Creates an fdisk partition.
You must create a separate partition for each OS such as Solaris or
DOS. There is a maximum of four partitions per disk. You are prompted
for the size of the fdisk partition as a percentage of the disk.

Specify the active partition

Enables
you to specify the partition to be used for booting. This menu item
identifies where the first stage boot program looks for the second stage boot
program.

Delete a partition

Deletes a previously created partition. This command destroys all the data in the
partition.

Reads each sector on the
current disk. Repairs defective blocks as a default.

refresh

Reads then writes data on the
current disk without harming the data. Repairs defective blocks as a default.

test

Writes a
set of patterns to the disk without harming the data. Repairs defective blocks
as a default.

write

Writes a set of patterns to the disk then reads
back the data on the disk. Destroys existing data on the disk. Repairs
defective blocks as a default.

compare

Writes a set of patterns to the disk,
reads back the data, and then compares it to the data in the
write buffer. Destroys existing data on the disk. Repairs defective blocks as a
default.

purge

Removes all data from the disk so that the data cannot
be retrieved by any means. Data is removed by writing three distinct patterns
over the entire disk (or a section of the disk). If the
verification passes, a hex-bit pattern is written over the entire disk (or a
section of the disk).

Repairs defective blocks as a default.

verify

In the first pass,
writes unique data to each block on the entire disk. In the
next pass, reads and verifies the data. Destroys existing data on the disk.
Repairs defective blocks as a default.
